interesting. if i were to try, I would side with JHill's idea & reverse-print on cast clear & laminate with cast white vinyl & wet thermalform to the inside of the shape. ...wet thermalform being my fancy term for wet application with a heatgun & lotsa patience. :) oh, and if you're concerned...

leaving out some important info. materials used, specifically. regardless, assuming that he's not providing you with production-ready artwork, you should have a flat setup charge and then his price/decal price break comes out in the wash from quantities attached. and if you wish to avoid the...

+1 your install might be a walk in the park, but those trailers are never squeaky-clean when they come in. Always winds up being twice as much cleaning as anticipated ...and twice as many rivots.

soooo aggrivating. My recently purchased/upgraded non-cloud CS6 was unable to open and trying to place the file into CS6 showed-up as a rasterized image... suck it, Adobe, for taking my $1500 and rendering my software that much less-useful in an attempt to get me on the subscription plan...

link, or it doesn't count. :Big Laugh

+1 same here just noticed, however, there's now an ad at the top of this page with great swab prices: SwabIts!

Brochures to read: "two banners for the price of hand-lettering!...just a click-away":Big Laugh

used mimaki > used mutoh. especially since you already own it, i'd stay on the mimaki until you can build-up your biz before spending even more money on equipment. ...and then upgrade to brand-spanking-new on the coattails of a sign show special or last years' demo/floor/overstocked model...

there can be a HUGE difference between p.s.f. and actual linear footage used. we stock 54" materials, and quote based on how much linear footage is actually going to be used up.... 3'x6' banner gets priced the same as if it were a 4'x6' banner. We inform our clients of this, and they're usually...

FlexClamp system by SignComp. Install instructions are most likely available via their website or a few emails, I haven't had to look in quite a while. they're pretty straight-forward. I wouldn't sweat it. Look into UltraLon IV for the material and make sure you save every-single piece...

plenty of youtube vids out there for the kids. pretty basic stuff right there...

someone's blowing smoke up your bum. you should never have to laminate stock colors. thanks for the heads-up tho'. I've only ever used oracal's white reflective, no issues here but I always/only laminate when I print on it.

only way I've been able to override beyond the 30cc's-add, is to grab old chips from other spent cartridges and swap em out. keep swapping and adding 30cc's until you've cashed the ink cartridge. *disclaimer: doing so may cause ink to drop-out during a print when the ink runs out. keep an eye...

:Welcome:2:signs101: easy. no need for crazy equipment like pressurized sprayers & such. I'd tackle this with a spray bottle of application fluid, a heat gun, a couple gallon jugs of pre-mixed solution on reserve, squeegee, knife, and tape-hinges.\ hinge the top, peel while spraying, "soft...

Greetings from Racine, WI! got family up in Rice Lake and LOVE seeing Hayward's Muskee-monument :) ...that's one BiiiiiigFish!

p.s. i get what you're saying, but had to :ROFLMAO: anyways :)

running an HP 26500 here, and LOVE my translucent prints! I also loved my translucent prints that used to fly out of my mimaki jv3, as well, but now I laminate&apply straight off-the-printer! ...but that may also be due to the fact that I NEVER double-strike, or "high ink limit" for the HP, my...

falconboard is great stuff, but I wouldn't trust it outdoors as it is basically thick cardboard with a printable posterboard laminate. but hey, its recycled & biodegradable & STILL a great price.

I'm gonna make a concealed suit of armor from them, and walk-around a Best Buy wreaking havoc with display electronics. :Big Laugh seriously tho', they're for a large project we're currently planning for this summer that includes LOTS of custom...

MyMagnetMan looks like the guy on amazon best i've come across thusfar.
